In the past few weeks we have featured several recently introduced varieties of tequila and vodka but the new Acai Veev is something completely new. The Acai Veev is a unique type of liquor that uses the Acai fruit from Brazil in addition to acerola cherries and prickly pears to create a truly unique experience. The Acai fruit is the Brazilian national fruit and is thought by many to be the healthiest fruit on the planet due to the fact that it is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins C and E, protein and Fiber while also producing a drink that is supposedly a little sweeter that a traditional vodka. In addition to a unique blend of flavors, for every bottle purchased $1 goes to various environmentalist foundations such as the Rainforest Action Network and Sambazon’s Sustainable Acai Project.

The shower head itself is a large square measuring 11 inches x 11inches and not only looks amazing but also has low water consumption so its good for the environment as well.

While this might not be the most innovative product on the market, it is ironically one of my favorites. This product is a floating drink/serving tray that can be be controlled via remote control to bring drinks and snacks to the lazy people floating in the pool.

This allows the floating tray to move in every direction as well as the ability to rotate a full 360 degrees with the touch of a button. The tray has space for five of your favorite beverages as well as a bowl that holds 16oz of snacks and will set you back only $49.99
